Board Changes

Mitie Group plc ('Mitie'), today announces the appointment of a new Group CFO.  Simon Kirkpatrick, currently Director of Group Finance at Mitie, will join the Board as Group CFO with effect from 1 April 2021. 

Simon joined Mitie in July 2019 from Balfour Beatty PLC where he held a number of senior finance roles including Finance Director for Major Projects and Group Head of Financial Planning & Analysis.  Simon began his professional career with Ernst & Young and is a Chartered Accountant.

As previously announced, Andrew Peeler, who has held the role of Group CFO since December 2019 on a fixed term contract, will leave Mitie on 30 June 2021.

In the meantime, Andrew and Simon will be working together to ensure a seamless transition.
